2021 Utility Box Beautification Project

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

The City of River Falls and River Falls Community Arts Base invite qualified artists (individuals/teams) from the surrounding community and from UW-River Falls to submit their proposals for two- dimensional, permanent murals on selected utility boxes located in River Falls. This project will not only mitigate the negative effects of graffiti and unwanted postings on utility boxes, thus reducing maintenance costs to the City of River Falls, it will also create lasting art that will improve the appearance of the town for residents and visitors alike.

This project aims to recognize and celebrate local artists, showcase local history, and foster a culture of the arts in River Falls. The art will become the property of the City of River Falls.  Artists whose work is selected will receive a stipend of $500 which will be used for supplies.
